Default Full boltons?

What would full boltons consist of?

I have Lid, k&n filter, bellow, Cutout.

I am wanting to get Pacesetter LTs with air/egr and a catted y-pipe. I cant void my warranty Its an Auto, so I was thinking 3.73 gears and then a tune. Does that sound about right? Should be good for about a mid-high 12? I would get a stall but since I have a warranty I do not want to void it!

Thanks!

For our cars, full bolt ons normally consist of a lid, headers, exhaust (true dual or y/catback), intake manifold, ported/bigger throttle body, a ram air kit of some kind, underdrive harmonic balancer, and a lower temp thermostat and electric water pump if you feel like it. The bellow and air filter are extras and not absolutely required, but they add up with everything else. Cutouts count as bolt ons too since it becomes part of the exhaust.

The stuff in my sig is pretty much full bolt ons, minus an electric water pump and cutout. You already have the ls6 intake manifold covered being an 02. Once you start looking at heads you're past the bolt on game.

Since you're an auto, full bolt ons and a sticky tire should put you in the high 12s. Add 3.73s to that and you might fall to mid 12s. The stall is what would really put you deep in the 12s though.

Also, I gotta ask, it's a 10 year old car, how do you have any kind of warranty left?

My old mid 11-sec SI car had the following bolt-ons:

LS6 Intake
P/P TB
Bellows
Z06 MAF
Lid
FRA
Pulley
Electric Water Pump (Meizure)
Yella Terra 1.8 Rocker Arms
LT's
Y-pipe

I think that pretty much sums it up for bolt-ons.

full bolt ons are long tubes, off road pipes, catback, lid, intake manifold, ported tb. i wouldnt count bellows and filters as "performance".
